As was explained in an interview, "the concept this time is a story of a man with a great fear of the ocean, he gets convinced by a bunch of old sailors to head out on a journey on the ocean to conquer his fears. The whole album then tells this mythological story of his journey travelling the waves and encountering all kinds of adventurous things like giant sea-monsters, storms and deserted islands."
